Just reposting what I wrote in another talk page: why use "cull order" when the word translated as "cull" actually and unambiguously means "kill" (the entire phrase is 娈鑳′护). You can cull documents, flowers, or knowledge, but as far as I know, "culling" for "killing" only applies to reducing animal populations by selective killing. By using "cull" to refer to a massacre of humans, you make it sound like the various Hu ethnic groups were animals. This (needless to insist) is in gross violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. The correct appellation should be "Ran Min's execution order," "Ran Min's order to kill the Jie," or something along those lines. Madalibi ( talk) 02:52, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
